PHP create page as a string after PHP runs
- by John
I'm stuck on how to write the test.php page result (after php has run) to a string:
testFunctions.php:
<?php
function htmlify($html, $format){
if ($format == "print"){
$html = str_replace("<", "<", $html);
$html = str_replace(">", ">", $html);
$html = str_replace(" ", "&nbsp;", $html);
$html = nl2br($html);
return $html;
}
};
$input = <<<HTML
<div style="background color:#959595; width:400px;">
<br>
input <b>text</b>
<br>
</div>
HTML;
function content($input, $mode){
if ($mode =="display"){
return $input;
}
else if ($mode =="source"){
return htmlify($input, "print");
};
};
function pagePrint($page){
$a = array(
'file_get_contents' => array($page),
'htmlify' => array($page, "print")
);
foreach($a as $func=>$args){
$x = call_user_func_array($func, $args);
$page .= $x;
}
return $page;
};
$file = "test.php";
?>
test.php:
<?php include "testFunctions.php"; ?>
<br><hr>here is the rendered html:<hr>
<?php $a = content($input, "display"); echo $a; ?>
<br><hr>here is the source code:<hr>
<?php $a = content($input, "source"); echo $a; ?>
<br><hr>here is the source code of the entire page after the php has been executed:<hr>
<div style="margin-left:40px; background-color:#ebebeb;">
<?php $a = pagePrint($file); echo $a; ?>
</div>
I'd like to keep all the php in the testFunctions.php file, so I can place simple function calls into templates for html emails.
Thanks!
